It won't work:

    Error at xsl:variable on line 5 column 51 of stylesheet.xsl:
      XTTE0570: Required item type of value of variable $FOO is
      document-node(); supplied value has item type element()
    Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.

I use document-node() as the type of a variable when importing an
external XML file into the variable. But in this case, I write the
contents of the variable in the stylesheet itself.
